Chablis
1er Cru Fourchaume
The 2022 vintage brought serenity back to the vineyard with a heathy harvest and correct volumes. With rainfall accumulations far from excessive, the year 2022 was marked by average temperatures higher than seasonal norms and rainfall deficits from the start of the vine’s vegetative cycle. At the beginning of April, episodes of frost will recall the terrible nights of April 6 and 7 of 2021, but fortunately with an impact beyond measure. The year 2022 is the year of all records for sunshine with the equivalent of an additional month of July.
Vineyard
Located on the right bank of Serein, this terroir, facing South, produces round and powerful wines, while keeping minerality from the kimméridgien soil. This cuvee is due to blending of grapes in the area of Vaulorent and Homme Mort.
